How would you remove a noisy and stubbornly resisting interloper so that the event can start? Charm? A spell?
Reasonable force is allowed in such circumstances. He was not struck or injured, and did force the situation, it seems.
Or do blind black people get a free pass to behave as badly as they want?

He was found not guilty of any charges brought against him by the Union.

Only Oxford students could think it appropriate to complain about the treatment of a member of an ethnic minority by picketing a lecture in honour of the first female Asian President of the Union..

Of course, there are class inequalities, but do agree with the poster you replied to that there remains to this day racism, both instutitional and casual underlying forms, to suggest that it doesn't is pure ignorance.

Being blind, I would have offered him my seat anyway, whatever his ethnicity.

Some people are born racists, they want any reason to show superiority of themselves over others.

Isn’t this the same Oxford Union which just elected its first Black President a while ago?

He wanted his Union card returned to him as the security staff has taken it from him, that is not grounds for assault.
He was found not guilty of any charges brought against him by the Union.

Why are you defending a union which has been seen to be openly racist?

As far as I can see he was merely removed when he refused to go.

"Give me my card and I will leave".
Couldn't be more clear.

He tried to bag himself a seat by an invalid means in a reserved area.
The security man very quietly and calmy asked him to move. He refused.
He continued to resist being moved.
He got noisy about it.
He was removed.

I have not seen any racist behaviour. I have seen a noisy and stubborn interloper removed. Are you suggesting that if a black blind man refuses to leave when calmly asked to do so and gets stroppy about it the security man must accept the situation or be castigated for racism? Isn't that, in itself, racist?

Why was he asked to leave when he was entitled to be there? This stinks of racism. No way is the black guy even causing trouble by sitting there (calmly I might add), before the racists in the oxford union decided to drag him out by his ankles. Great PR exercise for them, should talk to Prince Andrew as well, both know how to destroy their reputations in less than an hour.
